"Katie's nature and knowledge in providing patient-centered mental health care is refreshing and enlightening. Regardless of the role she holds - and she's filled various roles in Mental Health during her tenure - Katie goes above and beyond, setting a fine example for colleagues, her staff, patients, and consumers in the mental health service. She does this effortlessly, applying dedication, collaboration, motivation, care, and compassion consistently, and to a high standard. Katie is always respectful in how she engages with others, valuing diverse perspectives and voices, and understanding that every contribution is unique and valuable. She treats everyone - both staff and patients - with respect, regardless of their background, and always shows a great understanding of the need to value diversity and inclusion to ensure we provide the best possible outcomes and experiences. Katie communicates with clarity, transparency, and respect to staff of all disciplines and all consumers accessing mental health support. Navigating the health system can be daunting and tricky, even more so for a person with a mental illness. Katie leads by example and genuinely partners with consumers, their families, and carers to ensure they receive the best care possible. She listens and values opinions and always makes you feel that your contribution is important, ensuring consumers receive person-centered care in a manner that is calm, polite, and respectful."
